NexJ teams with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to transform the doctor-patient relationship
(Canada Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) NexJ Connected Wellness Platform brings care management online to
empower doctors and patients through Passport to TRUST program
TORONTO and BOSTON, April 11, 2012 /CNW/ - NexJ Systems Inc., (TSX: NXJ) a leading provider of next generation enterprise customer
relationship management (CRM) solutions, today announced that it has
entered into an agreement with the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, to digitize the Passport to TRUST
program.
The Passport to TRUST program provides greater structure to the
doctor-patient interaction through the formation of a blueprint for
comprehensive care that is unique to each patient and will become
available through NexJ's Connected Wellness Platform as an online medical dashboard - the Trust Passport. This innovative
approach will:
Create two-way communications between patients and physicians to empower
and enable the patient and their advocate to make informed decisions
Implement an interactive, step-by-step care plan that can be readily
accessed and acted upon by patients and all of their health care
providers
Educate physicians and patients in real time with access to the latest
information and its impact on an individual's health
With the ability to be accessed by all members of an individual's
healthcare team, the program will eliminate the problems of navigating
through disparate non-communicating medical records, to seamlessly
provide care beyond the office visit and improve overall health care
delivery.
Developed under the leadership of Steven D. Freedman MD, PHD, the
Passport to TRUST program has been shown to greatly enhance
physician-patient communication, improve patient satisfaction, and
actively engage the patient in their care1.
"As doctors, we face many time constraints that often result in one-way
communications with patients. This tool will transform the
doctor-patient relationship, the focal point at which quality care,
costs, health literacy and satisfaction intersect," said Dr. Freedman.
"The TRUST Passport creates a comprehensive care plan of action,
listing potential diagnoses, how tests or treatments will change
management and a step-by-step treatment plan. For the first time, we
can standardize how healthcare is practiced and effectively and
efficiently manage an individual's health through a true partnership
between doctor and patient. And we can help advance real healthcare
reform."
Camilia Martin MD MS, a member of the Passport to TRUST team who
developed the initial electronic prototype of the TRUST Passport added:
"Online accessibility to the Passport to TRUST Program offers the
unique ability for providers and patients to iteratively track
follow-up interactions independent of proprietary EMR systems ensuring
quality care with greater efficiencies."
Digitization of the Passport to TRUST program is based on an
implementation of the NexJ Connected Wellness Platform and its Health
Coach application, a web-based platform that enables interactive care
planning and patient monitoring. The NexJ Health Coach is built on a
flexible framework, which allows rapid configuration and integration
with electronic medical record (EMR) systems, so it can meet the
specific requirements of the TRUST program today and continue to
support the program as it evolves over time.
"Using NexJ Health Coach doctors and patients will be able to initiate a
TRUST Passport during or prior to a visit and update it with
information about their conditions, including possible causes, tests
and treatments and all of this will be available to them online," said
Eric Gombrich, SVP & GM, Health Solutions Group, NexJ Systems. "NexJ
is excited to be working with Dr. Freedman and his team on this
project, as it exemplifies how patient-centered health care can improve
the quality, safety, and cost of care, and enable patients to take
charge of their own health and wellness."
